I read a fair # of reviews before I bought ciV, mainly because I was excited about the game and I wanted to learn more about it. I have to say, after having played the game for over 100 hours, I would say this review by Tom Chick is the one that stands out to me the most. Although its' a bit...

It would be nice to be able to move my whole army at once. It can get really annoying moving each individual unit around. Maybe a formation button or a military caravan or something. Airports also need to be added ASAP. It seems I can airdrop paratroopers from a C-130, but I can't transport my...

Agreed.:blush: I get a little upset when she is not in the game.

SuperJay The Last Gunslinger I like the avatar change. Great books! Stephen King's magnum opes proves he is still a master word slinger.

Europa Universalis III. My first paradox game experience, so just getting the hang of it. I'm having a blast so far. I've been looking into trying out one of the total war series as well. If ciV has taught me one thing, it is to check out some of the posts on the fan website before buying the...

Tactical map. Bring back stack of (tactical) doom Total War style. Re-balance tile improvements to support more troops and more city growth. Than bring back all the other options in the pole.

I think it would be OK to remove America from the game, but you would have to make a few small changes. First, remove about half the tech tree starting in the industrial era (or at least make it impossible for you to be first to discover them). Ditto for most of the units of the modern era. Your...

Feels like a kids game. Automate workers. Pick the coolest looking unit from the tech tree. Build a bunch of them. Kill everything on the screen. Get a bunch of puppets. "Yay! I love puppets!" Now what do we do when we get a frowny face? "build cowesiums??" Good job, you got it! I'm not gonna...

I think I saw some where that The Witcher II will be out soon. The first one was a great RPG with a story line written by a famous Polish author. Highly recommended, although it is a bit sexist (you collect an eater egg style bonus every time you get one of the female characters in bed).

:agree: Great post IMHO.

Never mind that one. I just read your post on the other thread. To bad my graphics card isn't good enough for the new Fall Out. Maybe upgrading my computer will fill the void ciV has left me with.

Just out of curiosity, what are you planning to move on to? Maybe I could find some solace as well if I had something worth while to play as an alternative. I'm thinking of giving this Victoria II that everyone is talking about a try.

I really enjoyed watching this. Makes me excited for my trip to Poland in a couple months.

Looks fun! I like to see a strategy that is based on growing your cities and building wonders. I will try this for my next game. Thanks for the info!

I'm pretty new to civ (I dabbled in cIV) so you will have to forgive my ignorance. Do they ever add things like new buildings or units in patches or will we have to wait for the x-pack for that? It seems like their pretty keen on adding new civs and tweaking existing buildings and units, but...
